External services
This plugin connects to smallbusinesschatbot.com’s api in order to help users with authentication and with activation.
On activation, the plugin sends a POST request to smallbusinesschatbot.com/onboarding_create_chatbot with a payload of the Chatbot_URL, the current domain, and a Signup_Type (which in this case is wordpress). This information is sent over so that on the smallbusinesschatbot.com’s end, it can initialize the chatbot. The domain is used to verify the chatbot, the Chatbot_URL is used to figure out which ID to use for onboarding, and Signup_Type is for internal records.
When a user goes through authentication (through smallbusinesschatbot.com/signup or smallbusinesschatbot.com/login on the plugin’s admin page), it also sends over a payload of the chatbot_url, domain, signup type (set to WordPress), and a nonce. On smallbusinesschatbot.com’s end, this data is used to connect the chat widget to the server. When the authentication process occurs for the first time, there is a redirect from smallbusinesschatbot.com back to the wordpress admin page (sb-chatbot), which passes back a Chatbot_URL and nonce. The nonce is used to match the outgoing request for security. Then the chatbot_url is used to check and see if it needs to be updated, as sometimes a user will have already created a chatbot for themselves and therefore have initiated a Chatbot_URL. This id needs to be reflected in the user’s chatbot on WordPress’s side, so that’s why it’s passed back through a re-direct.
